other · 2026-05-28

The second season of the German series 'Achtsam Morden' ('Mindful Murder') is now streaming on Netflix. The show follows lawyer Björn Diemel (Tom Schilling), who, after a conversation with his mindfulness coach, embarks on a bloody career as a serial killer—always in the name of mindfulness. The new season centers on Björn's inner child and its violent desires. Based on the bestselling book series by author and lawyer Karsten Dusse, the first season reached Netflix's weekly top 10 in 66 countries. In season two, Björn seemingly lives a mindful life with his daughter Emily (Pamuk Pilavci) and wife Katharina (Emily Cox), while running two crime syndicates. Despite his murders going undetected, he feels discontent and seeks his coach Joschka Breitner (Peter Jordan) again, who identifies his inner child as the source of unrest. This leads Björn into further criminal activities.
